AMD today announced the completion of a significant acquisition aimed at bolstering its AI capabilities and data center infrastructure. AMD has signed a definitive agreement to acquire ZT Systems, a leading provider of AI infrastructure for hyperscale computing companies, in a cash and stock transaction valued at $4.9 billion. This acquisition is a key step in AMD’s long-term AI strategy, enabling the company to deliver leadership AI training and inferencing solutions at scale across cloud and enterprise customers. ZT Systems, with over 15 years of experience in designing and deploying data center AI compute and storage infrastructure, will join the AMD Data Center Solutions Business Group.

Last week, AMD had finalized the acquisition of Silo AI, Europe’s largest private AI lab, in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $665 million.
